Rivet, what do you mean about the weight class? I'm sure this fight will be at FW and even if it wasn't his last LW fight was his incredible KO and title-winning performance vs. Ivan Buchinger on NYE '13 (12-31-12) so that'd only be 1 year and 7 months.

All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

I don't see the problem with the Fight Church thing. We all know that MMA can be about honor, and respect, not hate. We also know that many fighters are Christians. This just takes it a step farther. Churches have basketball, and softball leagues. Why not MMA?

All of that is fine by me. This documentary with these religious bigot types sounding off against violence and yadayada is nauseating. Personally I didn't like the image of fairly young children bludgeoning each other. But that's me. As for religion being tied to fighting, that's all fine and dandy to me. To each his own.

I was hoping that's what you meant. I don't love that either, but it's always gonna happen, both with MMA and Religion, so put them together, and you're sure to get some negativity.

As far as kids doing MMA, I've never actually watched. Do the kids actually beat the piss out of each other or is it relatively tame?

Its my fault I should've been more specific.

As for the kids, go back and watch the vid again. It shows what looks to be pre teens boxing. I mean they are wearing headgear but they are wailing on each other. Then it shows one of the kids crying. I don't know. It just didn't sit well with me.

I haven't watched it, but certainly nothing wrong with being bothered by children crying, DA. I don't say that as a judgement of Fight Church, but certainly those images affect everyone differently.
